EFT Short Version

1) Rate the emotional intensity level of the feeling you are working on from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest intensity.

2) Using the traditional EFT format, formulate a statement.

"Even though I have this _____(state the problem)____, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

A choice could also be substituted for the second part of the statement.

Example: “…, I choose to be calm and peaceful.”

3) PR (Psychological Reversal) correction. - Say the statement three times while rubbing the sore spots or tapping the karate chop point.

• Sore spots are located on the chest 3 inches down from the V-shaped notch at the top of the sternum, then going about 3 inches out to the left or right. Rub around until you find where you are sore.
  
  
• The karate chop point is located on the side of the hand where you would do a karate chop at the end of the heart line on the palm.

4) Tap these points while using a reminder statement such as “this sharp pain in my wrist.” (Graphic used permission of mercola.com)
